Love is the Law of LifeAll love is expansion,

all selfishness is contraction.

Love is therefore

the only law of life.

He who loves lives,

he who is selfish is dying.

Therefore, love for love's sake,

because it is law of life,

just as you breathe to live.

It is Your Outlook That Matters

It is our own mental attitude,

which makes the world what it is for us.

Our thoughts make things beautiful,

our thoughts make things ugly.

The whole world is in our own minds.

Learn to see things in the proper light.


4/17

Life is Beautiful

First, believe in this world

that there is meaning behind everything.

Everything in the world is good,

is holy and beautiful.

If you see something evil,

think that you do not understand it

in the right light.

Throw the burden on yourselves!


5/17

It is The Way You Feel

Feel like Christ and you will be a Christ;

feel like Buddha and you will be a Buddha

It is feeling that is the life,

the strength, the vitality, without which

no amount of intellectual activity

can reach God.


6/17

Set Yourself Free

The moment I have realized

God sitting in the temple of

every human body,

the moment I stand in reverence

before every human being and see God in him

that moment I am free from bondage,

everything that binds vanishes,

and I am free.


7/17

Don't Play the Blame Game

Condemn none:

if you can stretch out a helping hand,do so.

If you cannot,

fold your hands,

bless your brothers, and

let them go their own way.


8/17

Help Others

If money helps a man

to do good to others,

it is of some value;

but if not,

it is simply a mass of evil,and the sooner it is got rid of,

the better.


9/17

Uphold Your Ideals

Our duty is

to encourage every one in hisstruggle

to live up to his own highest idea,

and strive at the same timeto make the ideal

as near as possible to the Truth.


10/17

Listen to Your Soul

You have to grow

from the inside out.

None can teach you,

none can make you spiritual.

There is no other teacher

but your own soul.


11/17

Be YourselfThe greatest religion is

to be true to your own nature.

Have faith in yourselves!


12/17

Nothing Is ImpossibleNever think

there is anything impossible

for the soul.

It is the greatest heresy to think so.

If there is sin,this is the only sin

to say that you are weak,

or others are weak.


13/17

You Have The Power

All the powers

in the universe

are already ours.

It is we who haveput our hands before our eyes

and cry that it is dark


14/17

Learn EverydayThe goal of mankind is knowledge...

now this knowledge is inherent in man.

No knowledge comes from outside: it is all inside.

What we say a man 'knows', should,

in strict psychological language,

be what he 'discovers' or 'unveils';

what man 'learns' is really what he discovers

by taking the cover off his own soul,

which is a mine of infinite knowledge.


15/17

Be Truthful

Everything

can be sacrificed for truth,

but truth cannot be sacrificed

for anything.


16/17

Think Differently

All differences in this world

are of degree,

and not of kind,

because oneness

is the secret of everything.


17/17

inspired to put at least something
